A British Transport Police spokesperson said: “Under previous policy, we had advised that someone with a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) may be searched in accordance with their acquired sex, however as an interim position while we digest yesterday’s judgement, we have advised our officers that any same sex searches in custody are to be undertaken in accordance with the biological birth sex of the detainee.

“We are in the process of reviewing the implications of the ruling and will consider any necessary updates to our policies and practices in line with the law and national guidance.”

    Two sexes.

    Let’s see a man try to give birth and a woman get a man pregnant. That is binary. Never in the history of human kind has a man birthed a child.

    Forget your little gender words (which are Just made up by JM)

    Anyway I’m done arguing with extreme leftists. Online doesn’t reflect reality thankfully.

      You are obviously not aware of the fact that trans men can and do get pregnant and trans women can and do sire children. Your “never in history” argument has, in fact, never been true, since it relies upon the assumption that trans people aren’t real.

      This “two sexes” argument is reductive to a fault. By the binary logic, all men must be equally “manly”. Unless your argument is that every man you know is as manly as a trans woman in skirts and eyeliner, then you’re just lying to yourself. If some men can be more or less manly than others then the distribution of sex must be bimodal rather than binary.

          Again, if trans men are women then these are the kind of people you think belong in women’s rooms:

          If you don’t want people that look like men in women’s rooms then the definition of “man” and “woman” can’t be based on private physical features that we keep out of sight under our clothes.

            Women get pregnant not men

            My mom had a hysterectomy years ago. She’ll never get pregnant again. By this logic, my mom is no longer a woman.

            Of course, if you have any experience talking with cissexists you’ll know that they distract people from their poorly conceived, fuckbrained arguments by just repeatedly moving the goalposts.

              This isn’t my talking point, it’s yours.

              This is the inevitable result of defining sex based on people’s birth certificates.

              You are demanding that these guys be required to use the stall next to your daughter because you’re afraid of men in women’s bathrooms. Because you can’t allow yourself to consider the implications of applying your rule to messy, complicated, ambiguous reality.

              You are the kind of person that would go into a women’s room and accost a woman because you thought she was a man. You are what you fear.
